Once again you guys knocked it out with the comments. I learned so much from you guys and the knowledge you shared in response to my posts.

I’d also like to call out Dan Black. He did something amazing recently. Dan encouraged one of my commenters to pursue a guest post spot on his blog. Thank you for reaching out to him and giving him help.

Site Statistics

Visits dropped by 40.05%

Unique Visits dropped by 49.15%

Pageviews were down 32.73%

Pages Per Visit increased 12.20%

Average Visit Duration increased 21.99%

I believe I have pinpointed why visits to the site has taken a nosedive. The site had begun to report errors back to Google’s crawler. As it did, pages were removed from the search engine.

Doing a little research and getting advice from some trusted friends, I believe I’ve taken the steps to correct this and the site should be indexed in Google once again.

News

Yes, that’s right. I’ve got news for you this month!

The site received an overhaul this month. Standard Theme 3.0 was released and I promptly switched over to the new and improved theme. The guys at 8Bit have done a tremendous job. If you’re thinking about a premium WordPress theme, I highly encourage you to consider Standard Theme. Buy it here (affiliate link).

I plan to begin work this week on an eBook I’ll be releasing by the end of the year.

I’ve received confirmation on an interview I’ll be doing. Joel Manby, author of Love Works, will be taking my questions. Do you have anything you would like me to ask?

I’ll be attending WordCamp Grand Rapids on August 18th and, possibly, 19th. If you’re in the area, come out and join us. It will be a great time!
